A literally 'like new' bass
9lbs. 5 oz.
With OHSC and all paperwork
CB00934
It’s a signature instrument for Pino Palladino, inspired by his 1979 fretless StingRay that helped define his sound.
Key specs:
Body: Poplar in a “’79 Burst” high-gloss polyester finish.
Neck: Maple with a dark orange tint, rosewood fingerboard, 34″ scale length.
Unique asymmetric neck carve (V-shape on the bass side blending to a C shape on the treble side) for enhanced comfort.
Electronics: A late-’70s-voiced humbucker pickup (shorter pole pieces) + a 2-band active preamp (with a 500 k treble pot rather than the more common 1-MΩ) to replicate Pino’s aged circuit tone.
Other touches: Brass saddles, GraphTech NuBone hand-shaped nut (1.686″ width) matching Pino’s original setup.
